Most successful dispute awards and settlements are underpinned by a truly robust calculation of economic damages or asset values – backed up, where necessary, by expert testimony.
HKA’s forensic accountants and valuers have an accomplished track record in such cases across multiple industries. Our commercial damages and valuation experts also develop original solutions in complex situations by taking a holistic view, combining understanding of the context of disputes and incisive analysis of detail.
Our experts consult and testify on a wide range of engagements and subjects – including losses alleged in breach of contract claims and post-acquisition disputes, or contentious valuations in shareholder or joint venture disputes, to reasonable royalties in patent infringement or licensing cases, investment treaty claims.
